I'm not sure we should have any sort of simulated battle network when there are real-world battles occurring

I hope we get some nice bonus features, seems to be taking a long time for them to package 6 GBA ROMs. Anyways, I'm pretty sure I have all six games on various devices in my bedroom but I think I'm going to pick up the collection because MMBN owns Though for mega Man Battle Network 6, I might seek out a patched GBA ROM that adds back cut postgame content

Feels Villeneuve posted:didnt need nintendo to tell me this. i really need to delete STS it's keeping me from playing other games StS and Splatoon 3 both in the top 3 for me too, but Civ 6 took the lead spot just last month with 90 hours thanks to hot seat multiplayer and downright unholy loading times. 25% of my game time was spent on shmups, with Crimzon Clover leading that category at 22 hours. not bad. seems like the metrics are more accurate than last year.

My year in review is mostly nonsense. My “by month” summary has 18 games.

Nintendo need to make a STS clone with Zelda or Kirby.

 Pretty much what I expected as I only really use my Switch to play RPGs. Wildtortilla posted:My year in review is mostly nonsense. My “by month” summary has 18 games. I'm seeing similar weirdness on mine as well. I have 3 "Most Played" games for June. Also I don't know whether it's just a weird thing with the Japanese version but my genres included "fight to get stronger" which unsurprisingly is a 90% overlap with "role-playing".

I'm playing Ori and Da Wisps and it's amazing, really love it, especially the soundtrack. But it's the sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest, I got them mixed up. If I play the first one afterwards, will it be a notable step down?

If you like the combat Ori 1 has much, much simpler combat. I think it's still good if what you like is the platforming/chase sections though.

is the switch version of Chronocross any good? As in...done well and runs well not necessarily your opinions on if the game itself is good

Ori 1 is a much simpler game, which isn't necessarily bad, but I'd say doing them in reverse order would feel a bit weird. I think it's more consistent and elegant overall, sequel has higher highs but lower lows.

I know the original version had its share of issues Now I just wish someone would release Xenogears

Actually I think if you turn the new graphics on it runs worse than the PS1 original

As in...done well and runs well not necessarily your opinions on if the game itself is good I like the graphical upgrade and I'm very tolerant of the text boxes. The music is phenomenal and I haven't noticed any porting issues. It's one of my favorites because of the soundtrack.

Sakurazuka posted:Actually I think if you turn the new graphics on it runs worse than the PS1 original Yeah, old graphics run the same as PS1, new graphics run worse than PS1 - on every platform, not just switch. It’s also missing some minor graphical effects, and they forgot about the updates to the prerendered backgrounds that they originally made for the english release, to make the text on signs and stuff match the localized names. (That last one is a very minor thing in CC, but “original english release got updates and/or bugfixes that are forgotten and lost in modern port” is a running theme in a lot of these modern rereleases that I really hate)

yeah lot of it always seems low effort "just get it on another platform" which is unfortunate

That whole generation (including a lot of N64 games) are just lovely enough that updating them without a full overhaul is almost always pretty bad.

The annoying thing is I actually like the changes in the new graphics mode - the high res ui looks nicer, and the model updates are all pretty well done. They’re still PS1 models, but they’re PS1 models made by people with more experience in 3d modeling, like the difference between Mario in 64 and 64DS. But the framerate drop in what’s already not the smoothest game is a dealbreaker.

Feels Villeneuve posted:im weird enough that i honestly prefer the original resolution to upscaling too I usually dont' care too much, like the original IOS remakes of the FF games that smoothed the sprites and all that. It's fine. In the end as long as it's not a blurry unrecognizable mess then that's fine with me, I know i'm playing an old rear end game and don't need to expect modern resolutions

Chrono Cross achieves a real unique vibe...I'd describe it as existential melancholy. The soundtrack contributes to it a lot, as well. Great game but I think it would help to be in the right headspace for it

the Klonoa updates (especially Klonoa 2) are nice and everything but I absolutely adore the original weird "sprites in 3d environment" look of the original Klonoa and think it's a big part of its charm

My most played game this year was slay the spire...which I think is a pretty decent game (when it's not pissing me off) but I'm not over the moon for. It's just kinda fine. But it's quick and easy to start a run and it works real well for podcast/YouTube/tv  It even beat out into the breach
